Red Cross Seeks Blood Gifts For U.S. Hospitals By JANE EADS WASHINGTON The blood of Pennsylvania miners, Wall Street bankers, Iowa farmwives, Holly wood stars and D.C. government girls saved the lives of millions on the front lines of our world encircling battlefields during World War II. - . . , . The wartime program was a spectacular success. Now the Red Cross is embarking on a peace time program to provide blood and its derivatives to the nation's hospitals without cost for all the people. . Some 6,600,000 persons, aver aging two pints each, donated blood during the war years. Bv January 1915 each week 100,000 persons church groups, labor unions, students, housewives and soldiers and sailors wore giving blood at the 35 donor centers or to the 63 mobile collecting units which the Hcd Cross was operat ing throughout the country for the purpose. I This project, the largest singly ' controlled medical undertaking in history, started out in a small way back in 1941. The surgeons general of the Army and Navy had requested the Red Cross and the National Research Council to cooperate in t ran ?f-W) teptfll ' p &s ;'.-r".z: Picture by Oliver Matthewi LARGEST MADRONE TREE This is believed to be Oregon's largest madrone tree, located near Mt.

Such shock frequently follows severe injuries, loss of blood or burns and is accompanied by an alarming fall in blood pressure and general collapse of the pa tient. Blood transfusion had been the essential feature in shock treatment. New properties of blood were then discovered. Their usefulness in a wide variety of diseases be came revealed. ...Plasma can le preserved for one year in the liquid state. Bet ter siill, il can be frozen and kept at least three years. But, best of all for modern military use, it can be dried and later dissolved in water. Its life-giving power can be held in dry form for five years in intense heat or cold, and there is no need for expensive, space-taking refrigerators. On the basis that any beneficial knowledge that can be gained from war should be turned to the aid of all people in time of peace, the Red Cross is embarking on its new program. The Red Cross will seek an estimated ultimate peak of 3,700, 000 blood donations annually. will cost Millions The program is headed by Vice Adm. Ross T.

Dr. Mclntire points out that the source of blood is confined to the veins of people. It cannot be com pounded or manufactured as are certain other biological products, medical supplies and drugs. Dr. Mclntire estimates that when the program gets under way one person in every 35 will have to give blood at least once a year to supply the need. It will take time three to five years before reaching its fullest achievement. H will also take money. The cost for the first year is estimated at between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 dollars. - Argentina Yields On Hemisphere Defense Proposal QUITANDINHA, Brazil, Aug. 25 (Jp) A big hurdle at the Inter-American defense confer ence was believed cleared today with Argentine agreement that all American nations might act to stop an attack of any one upon another. The 20-nation conference has been sitting since Aug. 15 to draw up a treaty of mutual de fense for the western hemi sphere. . Argentina had insisted that joint sanctions such as a break off of trade and diplomatic re lations and military action should be called into play only in case an American nation was attacked from outside the hemi sphere. She had argued that in event of agression from within the hemisphere, steps to stop the ag gression should be limited to con sultation among the American republics. Last night, however, she con sented to "application of collec tive means" to stop intra-heml-sphere attacks, but "only after such steps are resolved by con sultations." A high conference source re ported that the United States also had accepted the compro mise formula and said "the prob lem now is adequately settled." Canada Entry Wanted Ricardo Alfaro, Panama's for eign minister, said this should be a "steel band of defense from the Arctic to the Antarctic." He declared that it should take in strategic outlying island pos sessions of American nations and an extraterritorial ocean area extending 300 miles out from the American coasts. , Alfaro said Canada's inclusion in the American defense system was "indispensable." Canada is not represented at the confer ence, but the treaty drafters were reported prepared to leave the door open for her with a pro vision for later signature of the pact by non-participants in the negotiations. -attfie7&IDgSf Yep, the ladies get a break this week at Trader Gilkey's.
